Tidal Cyber
Tidal Cyber was established to advance threat-informed defense by grounding security decisions in adversary behavior rather than asset vulnerability scores. The platform maps an organization's defensive stack to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques, then overlays specific adversary procedures to surface coverage gaps. Deployment data cited by the firm indicates a 70% gain in control coverage and a 50% reduction in blind spots after alignment. The strategy centers on a software-platform model serving both community and enterprise users. Its Community Edition provides curated extensions to ATT&CK and a basic vendor registry; the Enterprise tier adds continuous ATT&CK assessment, a confidence score, and prioritized remediation. Tidal Cyber integrates with defensive solutions including XDR, EDR, and SIEM, and its NARC AI engine automates extraction of adversary procedures from unstructured reports. The platform's coverage calculation identifies tool overlap — the firm claims clients save $250,000 to $500,000 annually through threat-informed usage rationalization. Tidal Cyber operates as a technology vendor with a threat-intelligence engine, not as a traditional allocator. Its scale is measured in product reach rather than headcount or assets under management. The platform supports detection engineering, SOC management, CTI, and red teams. A scheduled fireside chat on July 29, 2026, will feature the co-founders discussing the firm's next evolution in cyber defense. The firm's structural posture is distinctive: it embeds adversary procedures directly into the security stack, allowing teams to test and optimize defenses against real-world behaviors rather than static compliance checklists. This approach turns threat intelligence into an operational control layer, not just an alert feed.

Frequently asked questions
How does Tidal Cyber operationalize the MITRE ATT&CK framework?
Tidal Cyber maps a client’s defensive tools — EDR, SIEM, XDR — against MITRE ATT&CK techniques, then overlays specific adversary procedures to identify coverage gaps and residual risk. Its coverage maps calculate risk reduction on a technique-by-technique basis, and the platform updates recommendations whenever a threat profile changes. This shifts analysis from generic CVE scoring to attacker-behavior-based defense.
What is Tidal Cyber’s NARC AI engine?
NARC is an AI engine designed to extract structured adversary procedures from unstructured intelligence — such as CTI reports, incident-response documents, pentest outputs, and red-team write-ups — and align them with the ATT&CK framework. It automatically connects those procedures to groups, campaigns, and software, which the firm says saves analyst hours by automating a traditionally manual enrichment process.
How does Tidal Cyber justify tool-stack investment?
The platform identifies overlapping tools, coverage gaps, and underperforming defenses by assessing the security stack against real adversary behavior. Tidal Cyber cites customer outcomes including a 40% reduction in tool overlap and an 80% increase in control efficiency, which allows security leaders to demonstrate they can meet coverage requirements with existing tools — reducing or deferring new purchases.
Does Tidal Cyber offer a free version of its platform?
Yes, Tidal Cyber provides a free Community Edition that includes user-created technique sets and matrices, curated extensions to ATT&CK, and a basic vendor registry on a shared cloud tenant. The Enterprise Edition adds continuous assessment, integrations with defensive platforms, a confidence score, prioritized remediation, and a single-tenant cloud environment with region flexibility.
What kind of security teams does Tidal Cyber serve?
The platform supports detection engineering, SOC management, CTI and threat research, red and purple teams, and threat hunters. Its tools help junior analysts perform at a higher level while enabling senior teams to improve overall security posture by validating controls and tuning detections against known adversary behaviors.
